2:1	And it came to passe in those dayes, that there came a decree from Augustus Cesar, that all the world should be taxed.
2:2	(This first taxing was made when Cyrenius was gouernour of Syria.)
2:3	Therefore went all to be taxed, euery man to his owne Citie.
2:4	And Ioseph also went vp from Galile out of a citie called Nazareth, into Iudea, vnto the citie of Dauid, which is called Beth-leem (because he was of the house and linage of Dauid,)
2:5	To bee taxed with Marie that was giuen him to wife, which was with childe.
2:6	And so it was, that while they were there, the daies were accomplished that shee shoulde be deliuered,
2:7	And she brought foorth her first begotten sonne, and wrapped him in swadling clothes, and laide him in a cratch, because there was no roome for them in the ynne.
2:8	And there were in the same countrey shepheards, abiding in the fielde, and keeping watch by night ouer their flocke.
2:9	And loe, the Angel of the Lord came vpon them, and the glorie of the Lord shone about them, and they were sore afraide.
2:10	Then the Angel saide vnto them, Be not afraid: for behold, I bring you glad tidings of great ioy, that shalbe to all the people,
2:11	That is, that vnto you is borne this day in the citie of Dauid, a Sauiour, which is Christ the Lord.
2:12	And this shalbe a signe to you, Yee shall finde the babe swadled, and laid in a cratch.
2:13	And straightway there was with the Angel a multitude of heauenly souldiers, praising God, and saying,
2:14	Glory be to God in the high heauens, and peace in earth, and towards men good will.
2:15	And it came to passe whe the Angels were gone away from them into heauen, that the shepheards sayde one to another, Let vs goe then vnto Beth-leem, and see this thing that is come to passe which the Lord hath shewed vnto vs.
2:16	So they came with haste, and founde both Marie and Ioseph, and the babe laid in the cratch.
2:17	And when they had seene it, they published abroade the thing, that was tolde them of that childe.
2:18	And all that heard it, wondred at ye things which were tolde them of the shepheards.
2:19	But Mary kept all those sayings, and pondred them in her heart.
2:20	And the shepheardes returned glorifiyng and praising God, for all that they had heard and seene as it was spoken vnto them.
2:21	And when the eight daies were accomplished, that they shoulde circumcise the childe, his name was then called Iesus, which was named of the Angell, before he was conceiued in the wombe.
2:22	And when the daies of her purification after the Lawe of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Hierusalem, to present him to the Lord,
2:23	(As it is written in the Lawe of the Lord, Euery man childe that first openeth ye wombe, shalbe called holy to the Lord)
2:24	And to giue an oblation, as it is commanded in the Lawe of the Lord, a paire of turtle doues, or two yong pigeons.
2:25	And behold, there was a man in Hierusalem, whose name was Simeon: this man was iust, and feared God, and waited for the consolation of Israel, and the holy Ghost was vpon him.
2:26	And it was declared to him from God by the holy Ghost, that he shoulde not see death, before he had seene that Anointed of the Lord.
2:27	And he came by the motion of the spirit into the Temple, and when the parents brought in the babe Iesus, to do for him after the custome of the Lawe,
2:28	Then hee tooke him in his armes, and praised God, and sayd,
2:29	Lord, nowe lettest thou thy seruaunt depart in peace, according to thy woorde,
2:30	For mine eyes haue seene thy saluation,
2:31	Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people,
2:32	A light to be reueiled to the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.
2:33	And Ioseph and his mother marueiled at those things, which were spoken touching him.
2:34	And Simeon blessed them, and saide vnto Mary his mother, Beholde, this childe is appointed for the fall and rising againe of many in Israel, and for a signe which shalbe spoken against,
2:35	(Yea and a sworde shall pearce through thy soule) that the thoughts of many heartes may be opened.
2:36	And there was a Prophetesse, one Anna the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser, which was of a great age, after she had liued with an husband seuen yeeres from her virginitie:
2:37	And she was widowe about foure score and foure yeeres, and went not out of the Temple, but serued God with fastings and prayers, night and day.
2:38	She then coming at the same instant vpon them, confessed likewise the Lord, and spake of him to all that looked for redemption in Hierusalem.
2:39	And when they had performed all thinges according to the lawe of the Lord, they returned into Galile to their owne citie Nazareth.
2:40	And the childe grewe, and waxed strong in Spirit, and was filled with wisedome, and the grace of God was with him.
2:41	Nowe his parents went to Hierusalem euery yeere, at the feast of the Passeouer.
2:42	And when hee was twelue yeere olde, and they were come vp to Hierusalem, after the custome of the feast,
2:43	And had finished the dayes thereof, as they returned, the childe Iesus remained in Hierusalem, and Ioseph knew not, nor his mother,
2:44	But they supposing, that he had bene in the company, went a dayes iourney, and sought him among their kinsfolke, and acquaintance.
2:45	And when they found him not, they turned backe to Hierusalem, and sought him.
2:46	And it came to passe three dayes after, that they found him in the Temple, sitting in the mids of the doctours, both hearing them, and asking them questions:
2:47	And all that heard him, were astonied at his vnderstanding and answeres.
2:48	So when they sawe him, they were amased, and his mother said vnto him, Sonne, why hast thou thus dealt with vs? beholde, thy father and I haue sought thee with very heauie hearts.
2:49	Then said he vnto them, Howe is it that ye sought me? knewe ye not that I must goe about my Fathers busines?
2:50	But they vnderstoode not the word that he spake to them.
2:51	Then hee went downe with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subiect to them: and his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
2:52	And Iesus increased in wisedome, and stature, and in fauour with God and men.


2:1	And it came to pass in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered for taxation.
2:2	And this tax registrar first occurred when Quirinius was governor of Syria.
2:3	And everyone went to be registered for taxation, every one into his own city.
2:4	And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David,
2:5	to be registered for taxation with Mary, his betrothed wife, who was large due to pregnancy.
2:6	And so it was, that while they were there, the days were completed for her to be delivered.
2:7	And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling clothes and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
2:8	Now there were in the same country shepherds staying out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
2:9	And behold, the angel of the Lord came over them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them and they were very afraid.
2:10	Then the angel said to them, "Do not fear, because behold, I bring you good news of great joy, which will be to all people.
2:11	Because, there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
2:12	And this will be a sign to you: You will find the Babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger."
2:13	And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying:
2:14	"Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men!"
2:15	So it was, when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, that the shepherds said to each other, "Let us now travel to Bethlehem and see this thing that has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us."
2:16	And they came quickly and found Mary and Joseph, and the Babe lying in a manger.
2:17	Now when they had seen Him, they made widely known the saying which was told them concerning this Child.
2:18	And all those who heard it marveled at those things which were told them by the shepherds.
2:19	But Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart.
2:20	Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told to them.
2:21	And when eight days were completed for the circumcision of the Child, His name was called JESUS, the name given by the angel before He was conceived in the womb.
2:22	When the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were completed, they brought Him to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord
2:23	(as it is written in the law of the Lord, "Every male who opens the womb shall be called holy to the LORD"),
2:24	and to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, "A pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons."
2:25	And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and this man was just and devout, waiting for the Consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.
2:26	And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should not see death before he had seen the Lord's Christ.
2:27	So he came by the Spirit into the temple. And when the parents brought in the Child Jesus, to do for Him after the custom of the law,
2:28	then he took Him up in his arms and blessed God and said:
2:29	"Lord, now let Your servant depart in peace, according to Your word;
2:30	Because, my eyes have seen Your salvation
2:31	which You have prepared before the face of all people,
2:32	A light to bring revelation to the Gentiles, and the glory of Your people Israel."
2:33	And Joseph and His mother marveled at those things which were spoken about Him.
2:34	Then Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary His mother, "Behold, this Child is destined for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign which will be spoken against
2:35	(yes, a sword will pierce through your own soul also), that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed."
2:36	Now there was one, Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was very old and had lived with a husband seven years from her virginity;
2:37	and she was a widow of about eighty four years, who did not depart from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day.
2:38	And coming in that instant she also gave thanks likewise to the Lord, and spoke of Him to all those who looked for redemption in Jerusalem.
2:39	So when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.
2:40	And the Child grew and became strong in spirit, filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him.
2:41	Now His parents went to Jerusalem every year at the Feast of the Passover.
2:42	And when He was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast.
2:43	When they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the Child Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. And Joseph and His mother did not know about it;
2:44	but supposing Him to have been in the company, they went a day's journey, and they sought Him among their relatives and acquaintances.
2:45	So when they did not find Him, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking Him.
2:46	Now it happened that after three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions.
2:47	All who heard Him were astonished at His understanding and answers.
2:48	So when they saw Him, they were amazed; and His mother said to Him, "Son, why have you done this to us? Look, Your father and I have sought You desperately."
2:49	He said to them, "Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father's business?"
2:50	But they did not understand the statement which He spoke to them.
2:51	Then He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was subject to them, but His mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
2:52	And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
